An Environmentally Safe Way to Clear Clogged Drains

Posted May 19, 2010byMPPL

Over time your drains will most likely become clogged. Hair, grease and other debris will accumulate in the drain, gradually stopping the water from flowing. Here's a way you can unclog the drain yourself without resorting to chemicals or an expensive local contractor.

Step 1 – Put 3/4 of a cup of dry baking soda down the drain.

Step 2 – Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain after the baking soda. The mixture will immediately start to fizz. Be sure to cover the drain with a plug, filling the hole completely so that nothing can escape.

Step 3 – Leave this concoction in the drain for about 30 minutes. While you are waiting, boil a kettle full of water.

Step 4 – After 30 minutes remove the plug and slowly pour the hot water down the drain.
